I got "cheated"; however, it didn't hurt me financially, and I did see it coming, so I was expecting it.

My golden rule: You go do all the privates, drinking, extra classes, and dating coworkers that you could ever hope to do, but don't, and I mean absolutely never, accept staying at a place for a couple of extra days. It's not nearly as appreciated as one might think...

gaj, that is just big time beeped. but you do know everyone in the hong-ik/shinchon area, dont you? take 'em down.

i stayed an extra month, during which time i told the director of my old school (in the most polite way possible) that if she tried to screw me on severance, i would take her fucking school down. things went smoothly.

My personal screwjob from a hakwon came in the form of them not listening when I repeatedly said that I had nothing stamped or written on either my passport or my immigration card when I had my visa extended to stay with them an extra month. I nearly missed a ferry to China, because some immigration officer at Incheon Ferry Terminal thought he had caught one of them wily, sneaky foreigners who manage to break all the rules, and I had just finished work like two days prior.

It's not hardly a dirty deed, but it did annoy the hell outta me. Combined with bang a G's story, yea. Don't stay longer, unless you like gimpy situations arising.

sounds like you got fired on the midnight hour!
save severance and flights cheaper to fire to you..
BUT!! that happen to my friend, so he called the labour board and they did everything for free and go all his money owed to him!
unfair dissmissle.. go for it man!!
you will get it back!

Haven't been cheated yet thank God, but have come close. I believe they key is to become your bosses good buddy. Without a friendly chummy relationship, the working relationship will be easily and guiltlessly violated.
